Is that a good price for Rayman Legends? I'm not seeing it cheaper physically anywhere.

Terrible port of a stellar game. Not worth it

Had Shadow Wars on my wishlist for quite a while because of the original price. Guess now I can finally buy it.

They'd have to pay me to play that port. It's also 30fps.
It's arguably the best launch game for the 3DS. It really was a great surprise.
I wish this sale was going on longer. I might cave on Black Flag again if it lasted until next Friday. The sale will be over by then though. I put in AC3 again this afternoon and was able to play several multiplayer games without much issue. They finally fixed the matching. People were leaving and coming into matches as they took place without any trouble it seemed. The graphic problems with that game are on full display though with the online. Stuff I never say in the single player game. So I would get AC4 again for the multiplayer and perhaps to mess around in the game world when the desire hit me. Especially since it's the last AC game the system will likely get.
It's not much of an argument, imo. There was Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Street Fighter IV, Pilotwings, and not much else, unless you consider Steel Diver and Nintendogs+Cats worth mentioning. SF IV was competent for what it was, but a shoestring port and suffers due to the control scheme of the 3DS. Pilotwings is high quality but very light on content.
Shadow Wars, meanwhile, is a fully fleshed, well executed game. It has some creative, unique ideas. I enjoyed nearly every minute of it. Also, it has some of the best 3D effects on the system. It really pops.
True the line up was somewhat small. I'd add Ridge Racer 3D to the list. I really enjoyed that. There were a few other games but the ones you listed and RR were the best games. I still feel Steel Diver gets a bad rap but that's just me.
I think it's a solid price for sure. You might do slightly better in the B/S/T thread, or on CAG or eBay but not considerably.

I have so many games already but I'm tempted to buy ghost recon shadow wars....
Steel Diver originally sold for $39.99. The amount of content did not justify the price tag, despite the interesting gameplay ideas.
Other than that, yeah, it's alright.
Sounds like a clearance price to me. Stores are selling off the unwanted stock Ubisoft already sold to them. Point being, Ubi isn't profiting off $10 disc versions.
$20 is probably the sweet spot for profitability for full titles like Zombi U in the eShop. If it's between 100 people paying $10 vs 60 people paying $20, it's in Ubi's interest to go with $20. I do think they could go more aggressive ($15) but I don't have their sales charts. They need to try to get back their investment as much as possible somehow.

Not actually that important
Everybody buy SHADOW WARS!
3DS eShop
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars 3D $7.50, normally $29.99
Wii U eShop
Rayman Legends $20.00, normally $39.99*
I'd consider these worth it. Not only are they good games, but those are fair prices too compared to retail.
I payed $10 plus shipping for my Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars cartridge, so IMO the $7.50 is well worth it. I really liked this game more than I thought I would, I bought after seeing numerous people here on GAF recommend it. Everybody if you like strategy games, get Shadow Wars.
Also I've seen Rayman Legends Wii U for about $20-$25 at retail at various places. So $20 seems fair to me. Looks like I'm finally buying the Digital version of Rayman Legends! I almost bought it when it was on sale the last time for I think about $28 but I didn't. I wasn't going to buy it until it was $20 or less on the eShop.
